So, obviously people are scared of taking the public transport because of the fear of contracting the coronavirus. Even if one takes all the social distancing measures, puts on the face mask, faceshield, gloves, has a sanitizer on them ALL the time, one simply cannot shake that fear away.?
While there is no sure=short way of dealing with the fear. one can only take the precaution while traveling in an airplane. Another way of dealing with the fear is to¡ well, book the entire plane so that no one else can travel on it. At least that is the solution an Indonesian socialist came up with.?
By booking an entire flight, an Indonesian man apparently took COVID-19 safety measures to a whole new level, so that he and his wife could fly safely. A Jakarta-based socialist, Richard Muljadi, posted pictures of a plane where he and his wife were the sole passengers.
Richard, who is renowned for his lavish lifestyle, flew on a Batik Air flight from Jakarta to Bali. Earlier this week, he shared a series of images on Instagram showing himself seated on an empty flight.
He did not disclose how much he paid to keep the flight private, however, he said that he was "still cheaper" than a private plane. ¡®After I'd book(ed) as many seats as possible, it was still cheaper than chattering [chartering] a PJ [private jet]. That's the trick fellas. #LIFEHACKS¡¯, Richard wrote in his Instagram story.?

Richard said that he and his wife, Shalvynne Chang, were ¡®super paranoid¡¯ about contracting the virus.
He further wrote, ¡®Had to make sure no one else (was on) this flight. We ain't flying unless it's just us¡¯.?
His thread of Instagram stories ended with, ¡®Bye, ghost ship¡¯.
The Lion Air Group, which operates Batik Air, reportedly confirmed that the only passengers on the flight were Richard and his wife. The business, however, added that Richard had only booked two tickets on his behalf, contradicting his assertion, as stated by local publication Detik Travel.?
It is unknown if he had bought other tickets in a separate booking.
Well, this is one way to avoid contracting the coronavirus...you know, if you can afford it.
